For the second practice in a row, SDSU kicker Seamus McMorrow, safety Darius Guillory, and receiver Larry Clark were conspicuously absent.

When asked specifically about those three sophomore players after practice Wednesday, Aztecs coach Rocky Long confirmed that they have not been at practice, and added that “whether they are on the team or not is up to them.”

“It’s not the same issue, but there’s issues with all those guys,” Long said. “Some of it is personal issues, some of it is team policy issues. So all of them, they’re all different situations and they have certain things they have to accomplish by the end of spring break, and I will determine if they’re still on the team or not.”

Long hinted that there’s a fourth player who’s also being held out of spring practice for similar reasons, but declined to specify who.

Long did not at any point use the term "suspended," but he confirmed that the players in question are not allowed to come to practice, and are barred from the locker room.

McMorrow’s absence isn’t good for a team that could be hurting for kickers.

Junior punter Joel Alesi, freshman walk-on John McGrory, and senior kicker/punter Wes Feer are the only three specialists listed on the Aztecs' spring roster.

As a freshman in 2012, McMorrow won the kickoff and punting responsibilities, and with the graduation of Chance Marden, he would have been the favorite to win placekicking duties as well this spring.

It’s not the first time he’s been in Long’s doghouse either.

The kicker did not participate in the Aztecs’ defeat to San Jose State in September 2012 because he was serving a one-game violation for an unspecified violation of team rules.
